OK TO NOT FEEL OK

From May 1 to 15, we want to encourage everyone that we can to acknowledge, accept, and embrace that it’s OK to Not Feel OK.

In addition to Shamir's "Bipolar Butterfly" and Lost Tapes of The 27 Club, we've created a special drop to support mental health causes. Our design features the ginkgo leaf, a perfect metaphor for the resilience and regeneration brought by having a support system for people struggling with their mental health. This collaborative project piece supports mental health initiatives around the world and encourages dialogue around mental health, not stigmatizing it. And it all starts with acknowledging that it's #OKToNotFeelOK.

BIPOLAR BUTTERFLY

Designed in collaboration between STiCH, our robo-designer and Shamir, an eclectic, rising indie-pop artist that owns his bipolar diagnosis and celebrates it with the Bipolar Butterfly capsule.

A portion of proceeds from every purchase will go towards helping others fight mental illness through National Association on Mental Illness.

LOST TAPES of the 27 club

Developed by Over The Bridge (OTB), this initiative used AI to create the album the 27 Club never had the chance to. Through this album, and the UCL-powered capsule, OTB is encouraging music industry insiders to get the mental health support they need.

A portion of proceeds from every purchase will go towards helping others fight mental illness through Over the Bridge.
